Best Ramen 2017: Ikkousha Hakata Ramen

The local ramen trend on high for the past two years has given rise to a slew of ramen shops, each featuring a regional variety. Straight, thin and toothsome noodles are bathed in rich, milky, pork-bone tonkotsu in this authentic recipe originating from Hakata district of Fukuoka City in Kyushu, Japan. Ikkuosha’s offerings have gained popularity among the locals with its style’s relative restraint on flavor intensity and liquid density. Ready options such as their bestselling Black Tonkotsu are available along with condiments to add to the diner’s taste like crushed garlic and pickled ginger.
